Herbal Remedies on A Parasite Cleanse

Today feels like a clean slate – a bit of a new beginning for me. Perhaps because my insides are once again clearing out, becoming squeaky clean – only this time hopefully freer from parasites then I have ever been before.

Right now I am drinking wormwood tea, cloves and a few other herbs to encourage more of a die off and am continuing to discover some interesting things about these yukky critters. Just when you thought you knew enough LOL!

Of course – none of it should surprise me! – I was a food hygiene inspector for a few years and saw nearly everything there was to see, at that time anyway, when it came to pathology in animals and have inspected every sort of animal, except horses.

However, even though I know parasites can invade any organ, tissue and there are even some which feed directly off of the cells themselves….I had a bit of a mental block when it came to transferring that knowledge to apply to our human bodies.

So….these nasty creatures could be anywhere – in any organ, feeding away…but what is far worse is they release toxic residue and cause acidic environments where ever they are.

They also encourage candida, fungal overgrowth, various viruses and poor bacteria growth in the body. Mainly because their presence lowers and interferes with immune function. And we haven't even gotten to the chronic undernourishment - it's no wonder so many are sick and tired...

None of this creates a picture of abundant health! Now you know why I am so keen on reducing their numbers and eradicating them as much as possible. I have even come to realize how the last remaining little hot spots of inflammation around my body are related to parasites….

This alone is enough to push me forward – onwards towards my goal of 30 days with this water fast, and I am nearly there. It’s all good.

Flipping the Switch on Bad Food Habits

It's day 16 of my detox and as usual things are moving right along - it hardly even seems to be much of an effort this time around, mostly because we are still talking about and thinking about how much fun and food we all had at Christmas. 

It's funny how I would at one time, have had such a difficult time making the transition from a celebration (feast time) back to normal eating. It was as if there was something inside of me that got a taste for the excess food, a switch was turned on and that was it.

It would have taken a lot of will power for me to reign in and control my eating habits once again. Eventually I would just end up angry and disappointed with myself - which would ensure the whole negative cycle kept on going.

Once I brought fasting into the picture that all changed. Mostly because fasting taught me the discipline that was missing - which is so funny as I am already a very disciplined person. But when it came to food, some other entity was clearly in control...

Which I know as candida, yeast, mold, fungus, nasty bacteria and what ever had ended up running the show in my gut. 

So, this is where I am at this morning. Feeling overall pretty good - doing some reminiscing about those days and feeling happy they are well behind me. Yesterday I spent the day looking at how I spend my time - when thinking about food/diet/yeast came up I realised I spent all of my time....

Thinking about food, eating, planning food, eating, worrying and stressing about food - and then the rest of the time feeling terrible, guilty, awful and what not for what I had eaten. What a complete waste of good time! LOL

It is a cycle - of course an unbalanced gut and hormonal system are setting the stage for this to play out - which started in the first instance with the presence of yeast, mold and fungus in places they should not be.

All of that can change for anyone with exercise, healthy diet and fasting. What a difference I feel inside and outside in my life. It takes time, patience and persistence to gently reverse and overcome (there's that key word) lifelong deep rooted dysfunction.

But, it's worth the effort because what you get back is your life.
